Hi all
I am in the market for a new laptop
preference is Lenova
I have read that gaming laptops is more reliable that standard entry level laptops.
So here in South Africa as our currency is bad to the dollar.
Can i go for the intel processor core i5 4gb graphics card 512 ssd hd 8gb ram witha fhd ips screen?

Yes, there was a problem earlier that after I paid for the laptop they didn't have stock, so I drove there 2 days later and spoke to a consultant and he assisted me, and I choose this one so my next move is to save up and get the 1tb ssd with 16gb ram

16gb ram, is more then enough for pictures retouching. . Glad that you sorted out this question.
